Pretty much. I am literally not kidding about this, but I owned the car for 12 years and never raised the hood. I looked at the engine when I bought it just because it seems like you should, and I raised the hood to show the next buyer when I sold it. I just took it in at the service intervals, which were priced somewhat reasonably, and never had a problem. I think I had two or three actual repairs in 12 years where something went wrong.
